  1. I’m grateful you take the time to share these best parts of yourself with us. How fortunate I feel that I am the beneficiary of your pen.
  2. Awesome chapter - moving out, bed linens and all. Theo and Sablo are fighting, but not through as a couple yet. Can’t wait until they make up. Soon, please?
  3. Happy Birthday, @mollyhousemouse !

    Secrets

    Great chapter. You open up a number of lines of questions, plus there’s much more to learn about the lumberjacks. And of course, I’d love to wake up with Jed and Wolfgang any morning.
  5. I’m very glad you’re okay. It sounds really alarming.

    Fallout

    Natalie can hardly be blamed for feeling bitter and unhappy if she feels she’s losing the man she wants. Alex was the proximate cause, but she’s not yet hearing that she’d have wound up in sorrow sooner or later. Now Jeremy and Alex don’t have to hide.
  7. You point out the irony in this, and it was assuredly unintentional. Still, there is something to be shared in a favorite tree, whether one climbs or not. You’re very kind to read and comment on this. Thank you!
  8. I’m traveling with you next time, Carlos! Great feature this month.
  9. I’m very grateful you read this, and glad it connected with you. Climbing trees can be exhilarating, and sharing the experience unforgettable. Thanks so much for your comments.
  10. Adi, I’m very grateful for what you said, and that you read this.
  11. You express perfectly the tone I hoped to convey. Thank you for taking time to read and to comment.
  12. I rejoice in what you tell me. There is hope, indeed! Thank you.

    I think this poem is perfect for this day, and for all days. It’s beautiful and encouraging and silences doubt.
  14. No, boys don’t climb trees as much as they once did. There are real reasons to fear injury, but there’s a notable decline in boys knowing how to have fun in the outdoors. Yet there is an enchantment to the heights one can climb to that will call a few... Thanks again for reading, and for your thoughts.
  15. I also thought of that novel you mentioned. Their tree plays a pivotal role in that story. I owe you many thanks for your help in making this stronger. I’m very grateful.
  16. I love the forest and the trees, and especially those places where one emerges and can see out from under the canopy. Thanks for reading this, and for your response.
  17. Thank you for reading this, and for your response. I enjoyed the ebb and flow of this poem, almost like it was breathing.
  18. It's melancholy, in a reminiscent kind of way. But hope, even carried on old bones, is better than none at all. Thank you for your thoughts, and for reading.
  19. That old beech at the top of the rise, the big one, twenty-one feet around, with all those branches just right to climb thirty, forty feet high above the old stone wall, if a boy were brave enough to try, eyes focused on a friend, and not down; Remember how we dared each other to see who could reach the highest spot; for the view from there went on for eternity over green meadows, past the steeple, across the wide valley, and beyond,
  20. Oh no! What a terrible thing to happen! I’m now waiting with bated breath for two couples...
  21. Thank you for this delight!
